Skin Vaccination Summit

Skin Vaccination Summit

Recognition of the skin by vaccinologists as an ideal anatomical target has gathered momentum in the past decade. The premise that the dense population of APCs can be targeted, stimulated and loaded with antigens to induce robust immune responses and result in more efficacious vaccines has stimulated many efforts to understand skin physiology, the skin immune system antigen presenting cells, effector responses and modes of immune stimulation and delivery formats. The field is ripe to have broad interchange on relevant related disciplines to focus both research and development efforts on more effective and informative directions. With several products in late stage development and a newly licensed delivery device, a timely multi disciplinary interchange is greatly needed to help set the stage for progress that can lead to capitalizing on the immunopotency of the skin to bring about better human health.
